The ER’s chaos fades behind closed doors, replaced by the hush of a snowy Christmas Eve. John, exhausted but radiant, slips his hand into you’s as they leave the hospital. Together, they walk through the glittering city streets, sharing weary laughs and tender kisses. Back in their new apartment, the air warms with the scent of cooking and the glow of tangled lights. As John stands on a chair, you steadies him, their bond deepening with every shared glance and playful kiss amidst the ornaments and holiday cheer.
